NOTE: This is an extremely work-in-progress section, and will be updated periodically. Also, please note that this section is based purely on what is known and what has been reported over the years, and that, until Queen Productions issues something that chronicles the band's entire sessionography, this section remains unofficial and entirely speculative.

Adapted from "The Ultimate Collection", to be found on Queenzone and Queenonline. Many, many thanks to John S Stuart, for his exhaustive research and meticulous notes!
